“A wonderful week in a lovely villa with loads of outdoor space, all in a great area”
+It's a quick 15-20 min journey from the airport in a taxi. Fred met us at the door with the keys and gave us a simple handover of the property, plus we had been communicating on WhatsApp beforehand, so we had her details for anything we needed. She was there if we needed her, but left us to it during the week, which was perfect. The access is up some steps as mentioned, so not wheelchair accessible or suitable for those not great with climbing stairs, but for us it was just find. The stairs led to the property entrance with three nice distinct seating areas, including a table and chairs near the bbq. There was a second set of stairs to the roof terrace which got the sun all day and had lovely views of the mountains to the north and the sea to the south. The rest of the property inside was the ideal size for two people and had shutters to help block out the heat during the day and prevent light getting through in the morning. We loved the area generally, the apartment is in a nice quiet area albeit it's about 2 mins walk to the main street where there are nice bars and restaurants to visit. The main promenade is at the bottom of the street and allows access to the port on foot, via
−nothing really to improve, perhaps some information about recycling would be handy to know, but it's obvious when you head to the main street (colour coded bins for paper(blue), cans and plastics(yellow), glass(green), organic waste(brown) and everything else in black.)

“Villa FREDOV is a charming gem in Benalmadena with wonderful facilities and a superb host.”
+Villa FREDOV was centrally located to shops and restaurants; a fully equipped kitchen, great wifi. The apartment was comfortable and clean. The host was super helpful and friendly. We had private access to beautiful outdoor facilities including a view of the ocean. A gem!
−We liked it everything. Some might find the stairs to the villa a bit of a challenge if dealing with disabilities.

+The house was beautiful and tidy. The owner was very kind and friendly. I loved everything about her. She helped me carry my bag to the apartment and showed me places to shop. She was very kind. Thank you very much to her. May God protect her from all harm.

“Great stay at FREDOV”
+Nice host Fred who lives below met us on arrival and she talked us through everything we needed to know. Apartment was clean, well presented and in a great quiet location within short walking distance of bars, cafes and some really good restaurants . The outside space is the real selling point with several areas to sit including a wonderful upper terrace to sunbathe / chill with fantastic Mountain views. We had a really great time and would definitely return if available.
−Slight uphill approach and several steps up to property to encounter which we managed okay but would not suit older people or people with mobility issues. Full size iron board would have been better & cotton bed sheets preferable than the ones used.
